JPYC Inc. says it’s launching JPYC, a yen-pegged stablecoin, on Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX) and Polygon (POL). The stablecoin will aim to keep a 1:1 peg with the Japanese yen.

A widely followed crypto analyst says that one top-100 altcoin that has seen massive gains over the last few days still looks strong while updating his outlook on Ethereum (ETH) and the stablecoin-focused blockchain Plasma (XPL).

Almost half of all Ethereum Improvement Proposal 7702 (EIP-7702) authorizations by users involve crimes like phishing and draining of funds, according to research from market maker Wintermute.

Ethereum Treasury SharpLink Gaming (SBET) has begun using its $1.5 billion stock buyback program, starting with the purchase of $15 million worth of SBET shares. “Maximizing stockholder value remains our top priority as we execute on our vision of being the most trusted ETH treasury company in the market,” said SharpLink Co-CEO Joseph Chalom in a statement. “With a robust balance sheet, zero debt, and a powerful ETH treasury generating income, we are in a position of strength. We believe the market currently undervalues our business, and rather than issue equity while trading below NAV, we are focused on disciplined capital allocation – including share repurchases – to increase stockholder value.” SharpLink Gaming maintains the second-largest publicly traded Ethereum treasury with 837,230 ETH valued at around $3.6 billion.
